ABSTRACT

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is an integral membrane protein of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

that catalyzes the rate limiting step in the monounsaturated fatty acids from saturated fatty acids.

Selection for fatty acids traits based on molecular marker assisted selection is needed to increase a

value of chicken meat. This study was designed to analyze expression and associations of SCD gene

polymorphisms with fatty acid traits in F2 kampung-broiler chicken cross. A total of 62 F2 kampung-

broiler chicken cross (29 males and 33 females) were used in this study. Fatty acid traits were mea-

sured at 26 weeks of age. Samples were divided into two groups based on fatty acid traits (the highest

and the lowest). Primers in exon 2 region were designed from the genomic chicken sequence. The

SNP g.37284A>G was detected and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymor-

phism (PCR-RFLP) method was then used to genotype. The expression of SCD gene was analyzed

using quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR). The result showed that there were three genotypes (AA,

AG, and GG) found in this study. The SCD|Aci I polymorphism was significantly associated with

palmitoleic acid (C16:1), fatty acids total and saturated fatty acid in 26 weeks old of F2 kampung-

broiler chicken cross (P<0.05). The SCD gene was expressed for polyunsaturated fatty acids in liver

tissue in two groups of chickens. In conclusion, the SCD gene could be a candidate gene that affects

fatty acids traits in F2 kampung-broiler chicken cross.

ABSTRAK

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) merupakan sebuah protein membran pada retikulum endo-

plasma (RE) yang mengkatalis tahap laju pembatasan asam lemak tak jenuh tunggal dari asam lemak

jenuh. Program seleksi untuk asam lemak yang didasarkan dengan penanda molekuler dibutuhkan

untuk meningkatkan nilai dari daging ayam. Penelitian ini didesain untuk menganalisis ekspresi

gen SCD dan asosiasinya dengan sifat asam lemak pada ayam silangan kampung-broiler G2.

Sebanyak 62 ekor ayam silangan kampung-broiler (29 jantan dan 33 betina) digunakan dalam peneli-

tian ini. Sifat asam lemak diukur pada umur 26 minggu. Sampel dibagi kedalam dua grup berdasar-

kan sifat asam lemaknya (tertinggi dan terendah). Primer pada daerah exon 2 didesain berdasarkan

runutan basa genom ayam. Sebuah SNP g.37284A>G dideteksi dan kemudian metode polymerase chain

reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) digunakan untuk menentukan genotipe.

In this study, RNA was transcripted into complemen- tary DNA (cDNA) using Transcriptor Synthesis First Strand cDNA Kit (Thermo Scientific, Lithuania, EU). RNA concentrations were measured with a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Spectophotometers 2000, Thermo Scientific, USA). PCR primers were designed in MEGA 5.0 and checked the profile using Primer Stat (SCD Forward: 5’-GGT GAC CAA GAA TGG GAA TG- ‘3, SCD reverse: 5’-CCA ATA ATG GCC CCT AGA TG- ‘3, GAPDH forward: 5’-GTG TTG TGG ACT TGA TGG TC-‘3, GAPDH reverse: 5’-GAC AGA AGG GAA CAG AAC TG-‘3). The length of mRNA product of SCD and GAPDH genes were 192 and 160 bp respectively. All RT- qPCR assays were conducted using SYBR Green Select Master Kit (Applied biosystem, USA). The reaction was done in 10 μL containing 50 ng of total RNA and 0.4 μM of each primer. Thermal cycles contained one cycle of pre-incubation at 95°C for 5 min, 35 cycles of amplification (95°C for 10 s and 60°C for 20 s). Data of qRT-PCR were analyzed using 2[delta-delta] CT method (Schmittgen & Livak, 2008).

  RNA Isolation and qRT-PCR

  A part of leg chicken was used for fatty acids analysis. Fatty acids analysis was done according to Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC, 2012). These measurements included fat content (FC), saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and total fatty acids (TFA) .

  Phenotypic Measurements Fatty acids traits were analyzed at 26 weeks of age.

  A total of 29 males and 33 females Indonesian kampung-broiler chicken cross at 26 weeks of age were used in the current study. The blood ratio of Indonesian kampung-broiler chicken cross (F2) was 25% kampung, 50% kampung-broiler and 25% broiler (strain Cobb). The samples were divided into two groups (the high- est and the lowest) according fatty acids traits for gene expression study. All chickens had access to feed and water ad libitum. From hatch to 8 week of age, chickens received a starter feed (4,080 kcal of gross energy/kg and 19,03% of crude protein) and from 9 to 24 weeks of age, chickens were fed a grower diet (4,001 kcal of gross energy /kg and 17,42% of crude protein).

  The objectives of this study were to analyze an expression of SCD gene using RT-PCR, identify a polymorphism of SCD gene exon2 using PCR-RFLP and evaluate associations between a polymorphism of SCD gene and fatty acids compositions on F2 kampung- broiler chicken cross.

There are 5 variants of SCD called SCD1, SCD2, SCD3, SCD4 and SCD5 in different organisms (Paton & Ntambi, 2009; Flowers & Ntambi, 2008; Castro et al., 2011).

  Identifying candidate genes related to meat quality traits will provide an opportunity for genetic improve- ment in breeding programs, especially in fatty acids traits. These traits affect not only taste and texture in meat but also healthy status for the human. The study of molecular genetics and genomic technologies have led to the improvement of meat quality of farm animals (Gao et al ., 2007). An expression study and a polymor- phic locus associated with fatty acids traits can be used as genetic markers. The genetic markers can be used for genetic improvement in the breeding program.

  Indonesian native chickens are important genetic resources, particularly for growth, meat and egg pro- duction. Commonly, Indonesian native chickens are raised using traditional production techniques but have a good adaptation to the tropical climate in Indonesia (Abubakar et al., 2014). They are not considered as the main source of family income and just as a side-line ac- tivity. The productivity of Indonesian native chicken is still low (Sulandari et al., 2007) but can be increased with better management and genetic improvement. In the other hand, Indonesian native chickens supply meat that has specific texture and taste. It contains lower fat and are preferred by consumers. As a result, native chicken meat is more expensive than broiler meat. There is a high potential for genetic improvement of indigenous chickens due to large genetic variation in production and meat quality traits. Crossbreeding program with broiler can be done to improve the genetic productivity of Indonesian native chicken.

  DISCUSSION

  The association of SCD gene polymorphism and fatty acid traits in 26 weeks old kampung-broiler chicken cross was summarized in the Table 1. The g.37284A>G SNP of SCD gene was generally sig- nificantly associated with fatty acids composition in 26 weeks old chicken. There were significant associations between the SCD polymorphism and fatty acids C16:1 (palmitoleic acids), total fatty acids, and saturated fatty acids in 26 weeks old chicken. No significant difference was observed in fat content, monosaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) .

  A Polymorphism Study of SCD Gene

  In this study, mRNA expression analyzed by qRT- PCR demonstrated that the SCD gene was expressed in liver tissue. There were five fatty acid traits analyzed for gene expression (Figure 1). The chickens were divided into two groups for each trait (the highest and the low- est level). According to relative expression between SCD and GAPDH gene (housekeeping gene), there were no different expression between the highest and lowest group on fat content, total fatty acid, saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. There was the only different expression on polysaturated fatty acids between the highest and lowest group in the kampung- broiler chicken cross.

According to relative expression, there were no the different expression on fat content, total fatty acid, saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. There was only the different expression on polysatu- rated fatty acids in liver tissue. This result indicated that SCD gene expression affected polysaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on final product of the fatty acid conversion in liver tissue of chicken.

  In polymorphism study, SCD gene fragment were successfully amplified using PCR for all samples. There was a A/G SNP at base 37284 (accession number NC_006093). The PCR-RFLP method was used success- fully for genotyping the SNP in exon 2 of the SCD gene.

  The genotype and allele frequencies were calculated in crossbred chicken (Table 2). There were three genotypes (AA, AG, and GG) and two alleles (A and G) found in this population. The AG genotype was the highest genotype frequency in crossbred chicken. The A allele was more frequent than G allele in two groups of the kampung-broiler chicken cross. This was different with the results of Maharani et al., (2013a) in the broiler. In the previous study, the genotype frequency of GG was the highest.

  In the association study, there were associations between SCD|Aci I locus polymorphism and fatty acid traits (palmitic acids, total fatty acids, and saturated fatty acid). The homozygous GG was significantly high- er than the homozygous AA and heterozygous AG in palmitoleic acid (C16:1). The effect of this SNP indicated the increase palmitoleic acid in the homozygous GG. In fatty acids total and saturated fatty acids, the homozy- gous AA was significantly higher than the homozygous GG and heterozygous AG. This result indicated that ho- mozygous AA could be a candidate marker related satu- rated fatty acid. In mammals, three SNPs of SCD gene in 3’UTR were associated with fat deposition and fatty

In the previous study, The GG genotype was the highest on palmitoleic acid (C16:1) and AG genotype was the highest on palmitic acid (C16) and saturated fatty acids. Palmitoleic acid had a positive effect to reduce not only bad cholesterols (Nestel et al., 1994) but also fat deposition in blood vessels and blood clot formation (Grundy, 1994). In many studies, the in- creasing of unsaturated fatty acids could improve flavor of meat and health benefits (Erkkila et al., 2008; Webb & O’Neill, 2008; Zhang et al., 2008).

The SCD gene poly- morphism exon 2 was significantly associated with palmitoleic acid (C16:1), total fatty acid and PUFA in 26 weeks old crossbred chicken. The SNP can be used as a potential marker to enhance the genetic improvement for the breeding program of chicken.
